If I could have a beer with JesusHeaven knows I'd sip it nice and slowI'd try to pick a place that ain't too crowdedOr gladly go wherever he wants to go

You can bet I'd order up a couple tall onesTell the waitress put ‘'em on my tabI'd be sure to let him do the talkin'Careful when I got the chance to ask

How'd you turn the other cheekTo save a sorry soul like meDo you hear the prayers I sendWhat happens when life endsAnd when you think you're comin' back againI'd tell everyone, but no one would believe itIf I could have a beer with Jesus

If I could have a beer with JesusI'd put my whole paycheck in that jukeboxFill it up with nothing but the good stuffSit somewhere we couldn't see a clock

Ask him how'd you turn the other cheekTo save a sorry soul like meHave you been there from the startHow'd you change a sinner's heartAnd is heaven really just beyond the starsI'd tell everyone, but no one would believe itIf I could have a beer with Jesus

He can probably only stay, for just a couple roundsBut I hope and pray he's stayin' till we shut the whole place down

Ask him how'd you turn the other cheekTo save a sorry soul like meWhat's on the other side?Is mom and daddy alright?And if it ain't no trouble tell them I said hiI'd tell everyone but no one would believe itIf I could have a beer with JesusI'd tell everyone but no one would believe itIf I could have a beer with Jesus
